Aclient with a chest tube wishes to ambulate to the bathroom. what is the appropriate nursing response? a) "you will need to use a bedpan while the chest tube is in position." b) "i can assist you to the bathroom and back to bed." c) "let me get the unlicensed assistive personnel (uap) for you." d) "the chest tube cannot be moved."

Option B

Explanation:

A chest tube is a hollow and flexible pipe which is placed into the chest. This is done in order to remove fluid or air from the lungs, oesophagus or heart.

The tube around is placed between the ribs and into the space between the outer and inner lining of the chest cavity.

in this case the nurse can assist the patient to go to the bathroom and then assist him to move back to the bed.

that is tough

explanation:

aed pads should be placed in the middle of the child's chest. this ensures that the electricity can properly run through the child's body and hopefully cause his/her heart to start again. hope this : )
